Who Should I Start? Romeo Doubs or Caleb Williams

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) officially suffered a concussion in the third quarter of the team's 22-10 loss to the hosting Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round on Sunday and never returned. Doubs fell hard on his head in the end zone after a potential touchdown pass was broken up by two defenders. It was Doubs' second concussion of the season, but the good news is he'll have all offseason to recover. In addition to Doubs, the Packers lost Christian Watson (knee) to a torn ACL in Week 18 and Jayden Reed to a dislocated shoulder on Sunday. The 24-year-old finished Sunday's game with only two catches for 13 yards on two targets. The third-year wideout finished the regular season fourth on the team with 601 receiving yards and four TDs on 72 receptions in 13 games played. Doubs will remain a big part of the offense in 2025, albeit in a crowded Green Bay receiver room.

The Athletic's Dan Pompei believes that new Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson will likely empower quarterback Caleb Williams heading into his second year in the NFL after an up-and-down rookie campaign. Johnson gave QB Jared Goff authority with protection adjustments that not all signal-callers have while serving as the Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator, in addition to eliminating plays that Goff didn't like. Johnson was also a big proponent of going for it on fourth down, so the Bears offense should be much more aggressive under Williams in 2025. It's the main reason why Johnson was Chicago's top pick to be their next head coach. Despite plenty of weapons on offense in 2024, Williams was one of the worst downfield passers in his rookie season and had a 62.5% completion percentage to finish as the QB16 in fantasy. The addition of Johnson will surely make Williams a popular breakout candidate in 2025.
